(NEWSER) – Bashar al-Assad's son Hafez is only 11 years old—but he's already making some pretty bold political statements, if his supposed Facebook page is to be believed. In a post noted by Foreign Policy and the New York Times, Hafez purportedly writes, "America doesn't have soldiers, what it has is some cowards with new technology who claim themselves liberators." He adds: "I just want them to attack sooo much, because I want them to make this huge mistake of beginning something that they don't know the end of it."
